Just so you know, the frontend framework wars started and ended pretty quickly in the latter half of the 2010s. It was the downstream effect of the browser wars settling down and W3C making big moves on getting vendors to finally implement

This is going to sound insane, but something like this for the backseats of various common, and maybe even exotic, cars would be cool too. I have similar problems being a passenger in an uber for more than 15 mins. I lose my mind on roadtri

I think the only misleading part of this situation is your naive and self-centered definition of "trust", and the assumption that so many others think similarly enough that they need to be warned. I trust a business to fulfill the

At some point, you will realize two things. First, you're being petty and just fighting fire with fire. Second, most of this research is fairly trivial. What you're instead encouraging is a race to the bottom. You're not goin

Thank you for pushing back on one of the top disruptive bad-faith comments we see on HN. The follow up arguments will be that since billion dollar companies ultimately only care about their bottom line, so should we. I'm certain most o

Yes, I appreciate that the table distinguishes between "mean maximum" and "mean daily maximum". :-)

Yes, I'm saying if we are going to "mechanize" as you say, there are a ton of missing integrations to provide that authorization context. These abuse stories sound like we're far too dependent on a backlog of audits that

Can you share a link to a timeseries graph on weather.gov or similar? I'm not finding any proof of what you're saying.

Phoenix can stay hot at night in the summer. Tonight is a good example. It's 90 all night and won't hit the low of 80 until 7am. This is borderline uninhabitable for many. If you want the worst of both worlds with that kind of opp

I agree that it is to some extent about optics for the cops, but access controls and properly scoped authorization are always problems everywhere in software. That's not to say we should let any of this slide, but that we should re

Copilot is part of the enterprise suite, so like everything else Microsoft does in that regard it's never been anything but a roaring success by its own definition. Of course that's relative to how these kinds of things are use

I don't think the vehicle is going to make a difference at that point. You shouldn't be driving so long without a break anyway! Thanks for demonstrating the attitude that got us here in the first place, though. In your reply, we h

Is it only fat people who pay extra for more personal space on any other form of transport? I think there's a stronger argument that if you really don't want huge vehicles, you could at least improve ventilation. Air quality and t

Is this just the same tired old SVG turbulence filter people have been using since forever? Why would I introduce a "left-pad"-like dependency into my UI? I don't want to depend on these half-assed implementations of UI eleme

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're spot on. Almost everyone developing their own AI is doomed to fail. I would not be surprised that when the dust settles, Microsoft CoPilot and Google Gemini will be left stand

Thank you for your reply. Yes, we could all work a bit more effectively cross-team. It's missing the point to focus on the "what" and the "doing" instead of the "why" and the "planning". If there

The actual risk from AI is not its "intelligence", but the profound stupidity of the humans connecting it to important infrastructure. This has got to be the last straw with the anthropomorphization. I swear listening to the pro-A

It's also worth pointing out how many businesses have always had a dev team that can rapidly prototype regardless of AI usage. They tend to be the largest businesses (outside of SV) that employ the majority of people in the USA. They

Delusional. Let me illustrate with a similarly dumb question: When anyone can buy legal forms from an office supply store or make photocopies from books, why pay for a lawyer and who decides what needs a contract anyway? That was likely a

It's funny that we almost agree except you have it 100% backwards. The out of touch kung fu masters are all retired or close to it. They continue to shout about their big bet on AI as loudly as possible to protect their egos and, as a

It's a shame that it ever felt like a hassle. We should be introducing people to vim long before they are learning it under pressure. As you say, it's really not a lot to remember.
